Transfiguration: Draco's Song (Parody)


Draco's Song: Transfiguration
   Tune of Anticipation*

We can never know what a witch
    may do!
But we're subject to their freaky ways.           
And I wonder if I'm really a ferret now?
Or hallucinatin'—some fungus thing I ate?

Transfiguration! Transfiguration...
is makin-me-change...
Is keepin' me changin'.

And I tell you how freaky it feels 
       to be this way—
   and how odd this fur feels to me.

But I! I threw up those worms
    I ate last night—when I was starvin' 
and so some worms looked good to me. 

Transfiguration! Transfiguration...
is makin' me change...
is keepin' me changin'.

And my father! 
He might not even know me.
I'm no human! 
But I don't know nature's ways! 

So I'll try! (I'll try!) and see if I 
can transform back
and be like I was—'cause
This don't look good on me!
    (This don't look good on me!) 

I need my mum, 'cause
This don't look good on me!
    (This don't look good on me!) 

(This don't look good on me!)
(This don't look good on me!)
(This don't look good on me!)
(This don't look good on me!)

 *Version of Anticipation: 
   Carly Simon, Live, June 9, 1987,
   Martha's Vineyard, on YouTube. 
   That one may have been taken 
    down. This 1995 Version may work—
    not sure if the meter is the 
    same: 

Halfblood Prince of Slytherins' Lair (Song Parody)



Half-Blood Prince of Slyterins' Lair
Tune of Fresh Prince of Bel Air

This is a story all about how
My life got twist-turned upside down, 
And I'd like to take a minute and sit 
     right there: 
'Cuz I'm the Halfblood Prince of 
     Slytherins' lair.

In Midland, England, born and raised,
In a quaint park was where 
      I spent most of my days,
Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin'
      all hid—
I'd watch a young witch, Lily, 'n'er sis, 
     a muggle kid. 

I live on Spinner's End, a muggle street—
       no good—
In a low-class crib, in the neighborhood.
My muggle dad, Tobias—a jerk.
       He scares! 
My mum, a Gobstone witch named 
     Prince—She cares!

I left home at eleven, I had no fear 
'n' hopped the Hogwarts train—
My girl, Lily, was here!
Met Sirius and James—
      those jerks are rare!
But I thought, naw, forget it—
        "Yo, freaks! I don't care."

I pulled up to the castle—so glad I'd come! 
Potter makin' eyes at Lily—
"Yo James—kiss my bum!" 
He looked down on me and my greasy
      black hair—
Now I'm the Halfblood Prince of
      Slytherins' lair.

Alarmed Nurse Painted Rock

 This poor nurse looks rather alarmed. No wonder! Covid continues in 2021. 


This is a painted rock I did. The rock was slightly bean-shaped. My workaround was this three-quarter view, but the result was a somewhat abstract face. The wide-open eyes, looking back from that odd angle add an expression of alarm. What's more, the paisley print, positioned over the mouth—let's just say it adds another layer of odd. 

I'm afraid the resolution isn't great; took the picture with my cell phone. It's a bit blurry when enlarged. For what it's worth, I'm releasing her into the public domain. She might make a good profile pic for you or something! No attribution is necessary, and you may leave out the title if needed.
